Artist Statement 4: “Static”
This piece was performed as part of the “MSU Denver Dance Works with DTAPP’s Metamorphosis” show on April 30th and May 1st. While I wait for the final cut of the video from the videographer to share with y’all, I’m uploading the rehearsal footage. I’ve edited the hue of the video to mimic the lighting we had in the live performance piece.
Hannah Slate and I started creating this piece over a year ago with the intention of
crafting a live performance piece together. Overtime, this work became about exploring the concept of anxiety.
When anxiety strikes, how do we manage? Do we shut down? Do we go into overdrive to ease our anxious thoughts? How do we handle anxiety as individuals? How can we collectively handle anxiety as interconnected beings?
I enjoyed watching this, coming from someone who can’t dance I love watching people perform through movement! The red light definitely added to the piece!!
